A Singular Adventure.

The w. H. Upham, who is at the head OF
the Upham Manufacturing company, which
lost $500 600 by the great fire at Marshfeld,
Wis. was the hero OF singular adventure
when young man. He was member OF
Wisconsin regiment which participated in
the first battle of Bull Run, and was thought
to have been killed His comrades saw him
fall and none of them made any doubt OF his
death Being the first victim of the strife In
his own neighborhood there was great public
mourning for him. a memorial service was
held. in which thousands Of people partici-
pated, and many eloquent eulogies were
passed upon him. -
Six months later Upham appeared In Wash
ington with party of exchanged prisoners
He had been desperately wounded and taken
prisoner, but the Confederdtes had attended
to his wants, and when the exchange took
place he was sent home. When In Washing
ton he was taken to the White House by
Judge Doolittle, then senator, and intro
duced to President Lincoln as soldier who
had come back from the grave AS Upham
was on all the records as dead, AIR. Lincoln
ordered correct entry to be made, and then
gave the boy an honorable discharge from
tbe service. When he reached his home In
Racine he was tho lion of the hour, and the
people who had participated in the memorial
meeting in his honor got up jubilee which
was hardly less numerously attended. Later
on in the struggle the fortunes Of individuals
ware not so closely watched. chicago Herald.

Cigars for Gen. Grant.

Gen. Grant was able to crafty his love for
the weed at little or no tax upon his $780,
a year. So many Of his friends were desirous
of making him presents and his fondness for
cigars was so universally known that the ex
press companies were kept busy delivering
him boxes of the choicest brands. know of
one gift to him of box of 100 which cost the
donor $3.50, at least, the latter told me. l
thought this was about the highest price ever
paid for such goods, but the gentleman as
sured me that he had himself smoked cigars
which had cost 81. Is apiece. He had done so
accidentally, however, for it was far from
his disposition to be so extravagant. The
gift TO Gen. Grant came about in this way:
Ny informant, a merchant of means, was
about to visit the general in camp during the
closing days of the war and thought box of
fine cigars would be appreciated as delicate
courtesy. Accordingly, he called upon
cigar dealer near his residence and requested
him TO get the best box of cigars within reach.
1t was a time when gold was over 200, and
the custom duties were very heavy. The
package was duly delivered to him in day
or two and with it bill for Sl45. Astonished
at the price he went TO the cigar dealer, who
said that the bill was correct-Brooklyn

Two XTarlike Names.

In Massachusetts town there are two
young colored men, educated in the pub
lie schools and "well brought up, who
probably bear the most peculiar Chris
tian names, if they can be called Chris
tan names at all, that have been worn
since the Puritan times, when men re-
ceived whole phrases of Scripture as
names in baptism, such as Fight-the-
Good-Fight Smith, Shun-the-Ways-of
Evil Jones and Pray-Without-C Ceasing
johnson.
The name of one Of these young men
is Army-of- the Potomac Johnson-we
give another surname in the place of the
real one-and of the other Ninth-C Corps
johnson.
Both were born during the war OF the
rebellion, when their father served for q
time in the Ninth corps of the Army Of
the Potomac. He was anxious TO give
his sons patriotic names, suited to the
stirring times, and so named them after
what were to him the most famous mill
tary organizations in the world.-Youth' 8

The symptoms OF Biliousness are
unhappily bnt two well known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A Bilious man is

The digestive system Is wholly
out of order and Diarrhea or Consti-
patton may be a symptom or the
two may alternate. There are often
Hemorrhois or even loss Of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or fatulence
and tenderness in the pit OF the

The CHANCES of Life.

Nine hundred and ninety persons in
1000 would say that baby in the cradle
would be likely to live longer than man
of 65, but statisticians prove indisputably
that 500 in every 1000 infants die before
the age of years is recorded, while out
of 1000 healthy men at the age of 65,
more than 500 of them will be alive in
five, ay in ten years, or even longer
time. So it will be seen that a man of
65 may be considered younger than an
infant as far as his chances of future life
are concerned.-Chicago News.

is hoped, may in certain important cases be

toughness and endurance, glass cannot be
affected by the atmosphere like other metals,

@SHE.' ~
Improbabilities Sometimes Become Re-
alities---A True Mans Fidelity.

Several works bearing unique IL
ties, written in fascinating style,and
giving evidence of wonderful imagi
native power have lately been re-
ceived by the reading public with
much popularity and pleasure.
Perhaps the most striking of them
is the book bearing the odd title OF
"She." In this the author has fairly
outdone himself in his popular line
Ayesha and her beloved Kallikrates
are unique characters in fiction.
Ayesha, the heroine, is a beautiful
creature who tasted of the essence
of natures forces at the fountsin
head, and became immortal.
Her patient waiting for the cont
ing of Kallikrates, the beloved of her
youth, whose individuality was main
taincd through centuries, though
the change called death regularly
occurred, only to be followed by re-
birth,i a fine illustration of woman's
fidelity.
The closing scene, when she con
ducts Kallikrates to the very center
of the earth, the birthplace of all
life, in order that he may tase OF i'm
mortality, is fit climax 10 the fine
creation.
The question naturally suggested
by this strikingly original story is
whether there is not somewhere in
nature, potent force whereby life
NAV at least be temporarily pro-
longed.

of Dress says: I'm every instance

owe much to that excellent remedy,
and do not hesitate to acknowledge
it."
Human life seems too short, though
men in former ages lived longer than
those Of the present. History tells
us that they lived more in accord
ance with nsture's laws-their mode
of living was extremely simple, and
in their daily life they followed The
dictates OF human intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day,
seek the remedy among the artificial
forces instead OF resorting 10 the
field of nature.
IF when diseases come, we would
consult nature, the chances are that
we would fare better, for we would
then treat the cause OF such disor-
ders. Modern research has shown
that most Of the commonly known
diseases owe their origin tothe un-
healthy state of the kidneys. the
blood purifiers of the system, and II
they are kept in a healthy state by
the use Of Warmers safe cure, a veg
etable compound and simple prodnc-
tion of nature, much of the prevail
ing sickness would be happily aver
ted.
1t is probable that the author Of
"She" derived many Of his beautiful
imaginings from close communings
with nature. for we arc all agreed
that whatever is of or from nature,
is more beautiful and wholesome,
than that which is artiilcially con
structed.

Desert Land Claims.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Commissioner
Sparks of the general land Office has is
sued to registers and receivers of United
States land offices an amendatory circular
governing proceedings tos obtain title to
public lands under the desert land law
According to it lands bordering upon
streams, lakes or other natural bodies of
water, or through Or upon which there is
any river, stream, arrayo, lake, pond, body
of water or living spring, are not subject
to entry under the desert land law. Until
the clearest proof of their desert character
is furnished, lands containing sufficient
moisture 10 produce natural growth of
trees are not to be classed as desert lands.
Surveys of desert land claims cannot be
made in advance of the regular progress
of public surveys.
HELENA, July commenting on Mr..
Sparks circular the Independent says: at
is proper that every safeguard be en-
ployed to prevent the use of fraud in OBJ
tanning public lands, but at the same time
the honest settler who has taken up his
homestead or his desert entry, Or both,
should be protected and encouraged; for
with all the land he can honestly obtain
from the government and all the water he
can gather from the clouds or the nearest
stream, he has hard time"
